HPE Process is not just a supplier of pumps, valves, tubes, tank equipment and product recovery systems. It is passionate about the industries it serves and understands that its customers need more. With over 25 years’ industry experience, HPE is now working with PL Controls to provide process automation solutions for the brewery industry. HPE appreciates that of all the processes in a brewery, fermentation is the one that requires constant caretaking over several days. As a business grows this can often become a constant source of disturbance at time during the day or night. Managing this process correctly also has a direct impact on the quality and repeatability of the end product, not always an easy task to delegate. Automating this part of the process has never been easier or more cost effective, giving all the following benefits: • Tight & linear temperature control prevents the oscillating temperate associated with other systems and keeps the yeast working at its best. • Remote / Internet access enabling the operator to see and control fermentation wherever they are, with any smart device that can connect to the internet • Automatically record each fermentation cycle and if required add into this record the values from any SG measurements taken (this assumes manual samples and testing) • The solution starts with the 8 controlling loops (the number of temperature measuring points) and can be extended to suit specific process or customer requirements. • Programming is simple and straight-forward and users benefit from the peace of mind afforded by remote internet support of their systems. This application is designed to grow with you. You’ll never need to ‘throw away’ and start again. The hardware technology comes from Siemens, a global presence in brewing and automation giving brewers reassurance and confidence that this investment will continue to be supported as their breweries grow. 26 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS Helping brewers make good beer even better! www.hpeprocess.com For more information visit: PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT Showcase ABUK started out in 1982 as Advanced Bottling UK Limited and has developed into a small, family- run business, with a focus on the microbrewery industry. A long-standing member of SIBA – The Society of Independent Brewers (formerly: Small Independent Brewer’s Association), ABUK has spent over 30 years supplying equipment and expertise to small and mid-sized breweries in the UK and overseas. Today, Advanced Brewing UK (a trading name of Advanced Bottling UK Ltd.) focuses on turnkey brewery installations of all sizes, as well as the supply and installation of new and high quality used tanks and vessels across a range of industries. Many of ABUK’s customers are new to the industry, are starting small and working to a budget. For them, the company offers a 5 UK barrel, fully electric brew-system, which utilises second-hand vessels that are modified and finished to a high standard. The 5-barrel system can be tailored to a budget, to produce traditional cask ales. With the addition of pressure-rated vessels, it can produce carbonated beers suitable for kegging. For customers taking things to the next level, as sales agents for DME of Canada (recently merged with Newlands Systems to form DME Group), ABUK is able to offer their full product range of brew- house solutions. The smallest DME system installed in the UK is a 2.5BBL system in operation at Brewlab, Sunderland and is used to teach the next generation of professional brewers. The largest installation that ABUK has facilitated is the 100 BBL single infusion brewhouse at Sharps Brewery in Cornwall. ABUK’s expertise lies in facilitating and executing the installation of brewhouse plant and turnkey systems to a tailored design. It also offers tanks, vessels, CIP systems, kegging and racking solutions and more. Many of its brewery installations have been accompanied by carbonation, bottling and keg filling systems from Moravek International. Working with companies such as DME and Moravek, ABUK is able to offer turnkey brewing and packaging systems tailored to the requirements of its customers. www.advancedbrewing.co.uk For more information visit: Supplying equipment and expertise 26_Layout 1 10/11/2017 10:55 Page 1
